Ten on Tuesday

1. If I saw Jillian Michaels on the street right now I'd give her a dirty look, she's kicking my ass with this 30 Day shred and we're only at day 7.
   
   
   
2. We went to the Nautical Mile Festival this past weekend and while Baby C went on a ride with a friend, Big C and I played that water pistol game where you aim at a target and shot and whomever fills that tube first wins. This is what he won:
   

   

   It's a colored mo hawk

3. Baby C got a new swim instructor last night it's a guy and I'm realizing that she does better when a guy is instructing her rather than a girl. I guess I can see who'll wear the pants in her house! The guy was very happy with her abilities and wants her to try out for the swim team. He said she'd be the youngest and the smallest but he thinks she's capable. I had the best "Proud Mommy Moment" last night. :0) I'm just hoping she handles not wining EVERYTIME, we're still working on that social skill when it comes to board games.
   
   
   
4. I'm going to a graduate school open house tonight, I've been putting it off for months now and find myself always rescheduling. Maybe they'll close the expressway down on my way there and I'll have one more reason to put it off.
   
   
   
5. My mother comes in from England the beginning of July and plans on staying to the end of October. You have no idea how excited I am. Plus all the money I'll save on no day care!
   
   
   
6. It's my night to cook tonight and this is what I plan on attempting.
   Coconut Chicken Salad with Warm Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
   
   
   
   
   And possibly this to accompany it Tex-Mex Tabbouleh
   
   
7. I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to go to the open house and cook dinner, but at least I have big dreams.
   
   
   
8. We got invited to THREE parties this Saturday, one is 4-5:30pm, another 3pm - late and the last 3:30-4pm and NOTHING on Sunday. Someones going to have to be deeply disappointed by the fact that the human body can't physically be in three places and one time. But it's funny how it happens like that, you'll have a dry month and then boom. But at least I get to bum around the house Sunday.
   
   
   
9. Every evening Baby C begs to watch tv (I am grateful for the fact that she asks). Most of the time when it's my night to bathe her I tell her, "no" and engage her in other things. I hate that she begs for it though, I kind of wish she'd forget it even exists and infrequently remember it. I'm not sure if she begs because she hardly gets to watch it or if she's just a beggar! LOL I wish I could try going a month with no tv just to get it out of her mind but Big C would go stir crazy with that experiment. I could see him now, sitting in his car late at night with the iPad feigning for tv stimulation.
   
   
   
10. I have a half finished piece of pottery that i desperately need to make time to finish, or else someone will be in college by the time I'm done.
